8 0

Explanation:

Diatomic Nitrogen molecule means the two atoms of nitrogen $N_{2}$ .

A single nitrogen contains 5 electrons in its valence shell which has 3 single electrons and one pair of electron. When the bond is being made the three single electrons makes the covalent bond with the 3 electrons of other atom which results in 3 pairs . The total electrons shared between the atoms are 3 pairs (6 electrons) . while when it completes the octate the $N_{2}$ is formed.

Nitrogen is colorless, odorless, tasteless and the inert diatomic gas.Nitrogen combines of near about 78% of Earth's atmosphere.It is non-flammable which does not support combustion , it occurs in all living organisms. Nitrogen is used in most of the Biological processes and also used in the formation of fertilizers, in the form of ammonia and ammonia based compounds.It is also used in Chemical Industries for making nylon , explosives, dyes and etc. The breathing of Nitrogen is deadly, as it displaces the oxygen.

Balance the following equations. Do not include the states of matter.<br><br> (a) C + O2 → CO

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

C + O2 → CO2

Explanation:

C + O2 → CO ----------------- (1)

from equ (1) on reactant side, C has 1 mole, O has 2 moles

from equ (1) on product side, C has 1 mole, O has 1 mole

Thus, to balance the equation, O should have 2 moles

C + O2 → CO2

Which of the following is the BEST description of a budget? *<br> 10

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A budget is an estimation of revenue and expenses over a specified future period of time and is usually compiled and re-evaluated on a periodic basis. Budgets can be made for a person, a group of people, a business, a government, or just about anything else that makes and spends money.

The iodide ion reacts with hypochlorite ion (the active ingredient in chlorine bleaches) in the following way:

LiRa [457]

Explanation:

(a) As the given chemical reaction equation is as follows.

$OCl^{-} + I^{-} \rightarrow OI^{-1} + Cl^{-1}$

So, when we double the amount of hypochlorite or iodine then the rate of the reaction will also get double. And, this reaction is "first order" with respect to hypochlorite and iodine.

Hence, equation for rate law of reaction will be as follows.

Rate = $K \times [OCl^{-}] \times [l^{-}]$

(b) Since, the rate equation is as follows.

Rate = $K [OCl^{-}][l^{-}]$

Let us assume that ( $[OCl^{-}] = [l^{-}]$ )

Putting the given values into the above equation as follows.

$1.36 \times 10^{-4} = K \times (1.5 \times 10^{-3})^2$

$1.36 \times 10^{-4} = K \times (2.25 \times 10^{-6})$

K = $\frac{1.36 \times 10^{-4}}{2.25 \times 10^{-6}}$

= $60.4 M^{-1}sec^{-1}$

Hence, the value of rate constant for the given reaction is $60.4 M^{-1}sec^{-1}$ .

(c) Now, we will calculate the rate as follows.

Rate = $K [OCl^{-}][l^{-}]$

= $60.4 \times (1.8 \times 10^{3}) \times (6.0 \times 10^{4})$

= $6.52 \times 10^{5}$

Therefore, rate when $[OCl^{-}] = 1.8 \times 10^{3}$ M and $[I^{-}]= 6.0 \times 10^{4}$ M is $6.52 \times 10^{5}$ .

If the input force applied to one end of a first-class lever is 8 N, and the fulcrum is located 6 m away from the input force bu

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

16 N

Explanation:

The ratio of output force to the input force is called mechanical advantage of the lever. Also, the ratio of input arm distance to the output arm distance is called mechanical advantage of the lever.

We have,

Input force = 8 N

Input arm distance = 6 m

Output arm distance = 3 m

We need to find the resulting output force. So,

$\dfrac{F_o}{8}=\dfrac{6}{3}\\\\F_o=16\ N$

So, the resulting output force is 16 N.
